Hi DrBB. After you cut&paste to a text file, don't rename it. Instead, open Across Lite and use the program to open the file. You can solve/print/save from there, and the save function will create a .puz file.

EDIT: Opened it by selecting "Text Format (*.TXT)" under "Files of type:"

Not even sure who or what i'm "replying" to, since i'm not conversant w/posting stuff. but, suffice it to say, a HUGE THANK YOU to (Filer i think) whoever posted that terrific link to the la times puz's. i had thought they were just not being offered any more, til i went to the link. u can even get the puzzles a day ahead (at least this is true of the saturday ones).

THANK YOU to whoever posted this! there are 2 kinds of people in the world - ones like u who like to help others, and a**holes who don't, IMO.

I copied the Past Due puzzle of August 13, 2017 just posted by trauer1282 to a text editor. Then I saved it as a .txt file. When I try to open the text file in AcrossLite in the text mode, I receive this error:End of file reached before complete description.Is there anything else I can do or is the posting missing some part?
